Axle question
 

Hi,

Is a 1-ton arbor press enough to press-fit the bearing and retainer
ring on a axle shaft without too much trouble?

If not, what would be enough? A 2-ton arbor? A 12-ton hydraulic?

I want to avoid using the bfh.

1 ton no, 2 ton probably not, 12 ton yes for a rear axle, no for the
later model sealed front hubs
